ahah had my ipad since christmas, and despite my pensive hate initially, id break down and die without it now. i just use it too much for pretty well anything.

Its like a computer you use when your not on a computer XD

IOS 5 should be super handy with the split keyboard. thats my only gripe that its a bit unnatural laying in bed with it and having to poke at it with a finger. being able to hold it on either side and type with each finger will be super useful.

Submit to Master Steve - He makes it easy to do things *his* way.

Heard the latest Kerfuffle over the apple patent to remote-disable the camera on Iphones and Ipads depending on location ?

Supposedly its to stop naughty people recording concerts and other live gigs (like anyone would want to watch Iphone footage from a concert) -

But how long do you think it will be before the authorities decide to tell Apple to shut off all those cameras at protests, raids, crackdowns, G20 meetings and anywhere that they feel like being a bit ..forceful and dont want too much evidence hitting youtube ?

There are good reasons that I refer to Igadgets as "Shiny Handcuffs" you know.

Pretty, fashionable, easy to put on, but much more difficult to remove if they dont want you to. Thus the term "Jailbreaking".

Enjoy your voluntary step into their Jail (ahem, I mean "Garden" )

I must admit if I was looking for a laptop today to buy I would probably end up with the 13inch macbookpro i7. Only shame about it is the graphics but its not too bad. (And me and mac touchpads to not get along but training would fix that)

GL not getting lured into using osx as your primary OS on it. Resist the urge.

Still would go a htc or even nokia over iphone.

Android ftw.
Hell even windows mobile gives end users more power over their device.
(wimo gives you root by default, admittedly that's probably largely due to Microsoft not knowing any better in terms of security, but ey)

When microsoft is freer than your company your doing something wrong.

At the end of the day, I like the quality of the Apple hardware, yet to find any other phone or laptop that I can openly say I like better. Software wise, regardless of if its Windows, Linux, Mac or iOS, Android, Palm etc etc, there's pot holes with all of them, it's just how good of a user you are to not let the limitations or downfalls affect you.

Never seen this thread before..... but I did want to mention a few things about using osx that we have noticed compared to windows.

Osx only costs $40 for a brand new retail copy from jb hifi (so its a fifth of the price of windows) and you don't have to register it or have a code of any kind or even an internet connection to install it.

I think the main reason more people don't go for macs, is that they don't have the game support of windows. We don't play any games...we just do editing ect and the osx just don't crash much.

We only have hackintoshes so hardware is the same as a pc...though the mac keyboards and monitors are nice. he he

Last Nokia i got was s**t. It was a QWERTY fone and I dropped it on my table from a height of 30cm and the keyboard totally seperated from the screen. Opened it up and saw the battery was also leaking.

Seriously why should I *have* to go to the effort of jailbreaking.

Why can't apple just add the obvious features which everyone needs. Steve must really like the 5 bloody SMS tones $#^@$%#@. Also jailbreaking to make it easy to turn off wifi and 3g so the battery lasts more than one day.

Jailbreaking makes it usable but these days if I had a choice would definitely buy an android phone.
